About
I’m Ian.I own the technical work.
You run the business. I make the technical decisions, do the work myself, and stay responsible for it after launch: software, websites, integrations, hosting, automation, and AI.
The short version
Plain facts.
Ian Dikhtiar, a hands-on fractional CTO. I run XT3, the company behind this site.
Wolf Lake, near Muskegon, Michigan. I work with owners locally and remotely across the US.
Decide what a business should build, buy, connect, fix, or leave alone. Then build it, ship it, and keep it running.
Owners of established businesses who aren’t technical and don’t have a technical leader, or whose technical department is one busy person.
More than ten years writing code. I came up through QA, writing tests, and it shows: I assume things break until proven otherwise. Today I build full applications with AI, front end and back end.
How I work
Decide. Build. Stay.
- On a first call I listen for two things: the money opportunity you’re trying to catch, and the problem costing you right now. If they don’t match, we don’t build.
- I build the rough version fast, test it against reality, then build it properly.
- You own the accounts, the code, and the documentation. Always.
- After launch I stay: hosting, fixes, security basics, and the next improvement.
